“He’s Running Scared” – Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff Defies Congress, Abruptly Bails on Scheduled Testimony on Joe Biden’s Cognitive Decline

The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday said Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff Anthony Bernal defied congress and bailed on his testimony on Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.

“Now that the White House has waived executive privilege, it’s abundantly clear that Anthony Bernal – Jill Biden’s so-called ‘work husband’ – never intended to be transparent about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the ensuing cover-up. With no privilege left to hide behind, Mr. Bernal is now running scared, desperate to bury the truth. The American people deserve answers and accountability, and the Oversight Committee will not tolerate this obstruction. I will promptly issue a subpoena to compel Anthony Bernal’s testimony before the Committee,” the Oversight Committee said.

“Just yesterday, we heard from our first witness, Neera Tanden, the former Staff Secretary who controlled the Biden autopen. Ms. Tanden testified that she had minimal interaction with President Biden, despite wielding tremendous authority. She explained that to obtain approval for autopen signatures, she would send decision memos to members of the President’s inner circle and had no visibility of what occurred between sending the memo and receiving it back with approval. Her testimony raises serious questions about who was really calling the shots in the Biden White House amid the President’s obvious decline. We will continue to pursue the truth for the American people,” the Committee said.

Former Biden Aide Neera Tanden Does Not Know Who Ordered President’s Autopen Signatures

Neera Tanden, a former top aide for President Joe Biden, told Congress that she had authorization to direct autopen signatures for the president but does not know who gave the final order.

Tanden served as the director of Biden’s Domestic Policy Council and she told Congress during a testimony on Tuesday that the president used an automatic signature tool allowing for aides to sign pardons, memos, and other official documents in the White House. Tanden said she did not know who authorized those signatures. Per Fox News:

During Tanden’s interview before Congress, which lasted more than five hours, she told lawmakers that, in her role as staff secretary and senior advisor to the former president between 2021 and 2023, she was authorized to direct autopen signatures on behalf of Biden, an Oversight Committee official told Fox News.

Tanden, who reportedly said during her testimony that she had limited interactions with Biden in her role, according to sources familiar with her testimony, described an approval process that left her – at least partly – in the dark about who specifically was giving final approval on the decisions to use the automatic signature tool, even though she simultaneously insisted Biden was in charge.

Tanden reportedly testified that to get approval for the use of autopen signatures she would send decision memos to members of Biden’s inner circle. However, she added that she was not aware of what actions or approvals took place between the time she sent the decision memo and the time she received it back with the necessary approval, according to the source familiar.

A minority member of the Oversight Committee called Tanden’s characterization “a lie,” with a statement from a former White House staffer saying that they received a “written sign off [from Biden] on every executive action she presented him with.”

“Any other characterization is a distortion of the testimony,” the official said. “To intimate that Neera Tanden said President Biden did not approve every single presidential decision and sign off on every executive action coming out of the White House is a lie.”

Tanden’s attorney, Michael Bromwich, agreed with the staffer, adding that the autopens were used after Biden approved the decisions.

Ex-Biden Aide Neera Tanden Admits Under Oath to House Oversight Committee That She Controlled Joe Biden’s Autopen

Here it is.

Ex-Biden official Neera Tanden admitted under oath to the House Oversight Committee during a closed-door testimony on Tuesday that she controlled Joe Biden’s autopen.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer recently identified five Biden aides who were involved in the cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline and autopen scandal.

Director of Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden was brought before the Committee on Tuesday and admitted she was authorized to use Joe Biden’s autopen between October 2021 to May 2023.

According to the Washington Examiner, Neera Tanden testified that she was also authorized to direct the autopen, however, she denied manipulation or abuse.

Excerpt from the Washington Examiner:

A top former aide to former President Joe Biden testified behind closed doors Tuesday for more than four hours as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into his mental fitness to serve and his White House’s use of an autopen, confirming she was authorized to use the automatic signature device while pushing back on concerns about alleged manipulation or malfeasance.

Neera Tanden, who served as director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, explained in her opening remarks Tuesday that she was given authority to wield the autopen. She said she “was responsible for handling the flow of documents to and from the president” and was authorized to direct autopen use from October 2021 to May 2023 when she was serving as staff secretary and senior adviser to Biden.

Tanden confirmed that during her tenure as White House staff secretary, she oversaw the many documents coming to and from the president’s desk, and she noted that her role included authorization to direct autopen use.

“As staff secretary, I was responsible for handling the flow of documents to and from the president,” she said. “I was also authorized to direct that autopen signatures be affixed to certain categories of documents. We had a system for authorizing the use of the autopen that I inherited from prior administrations. We employed that system throughout my tenure as staff secretary.”

However, Tanden noted that she stopped overseeing autopen use after May 2023, when she became head of the Domestic Policy Council.

The Oversight Project previously pointed out that Neera Tanden was the White House Staff Secretary when Joe Biden autopenned pardons from a golf course in the US Virgin Islands.

Neera Tanden was a frequent mention in the leaked Podesta emails released by WikiLeaks.

“Where’s Jackie?”: Why The Public Needs Answers On Biden’s Alleged Incapacity

“Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie?”

When then-President Joe Biden asked in September 2022 if House Rep. Jackie Walorski, an Indiana Republican who had died weeks earlier in a car accident, was in a meeting, observers were shocked. Biden had not only issued a statement of condolence; he had attended the  congresswoman’s memorial service to lower the flags at the White House in her honor.

As Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple noted last week, that moment should have been a wake-up call. In Washington parlance, it left no room for “plausible deniability” about whether Biden was still fit to hold the office of president. And it wasn’t just Democratic politicians who were willfully blind to Biden’s obvious deterioration; it was the media, too.

That’s why the country should fully support President Donald Trump’s June 4 order for his administration to investigate Biden’s competence and answer some of these questions, including the possible abuse of an autopen to sign legislation, pardons and other documents while he was president, instead of looking for political motivations.

Similarly, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee is also investigating.

The New York Times called it part of Trump’s “campaign of retribution against his perceived enemies” and “the latest effort by President Trump to stoke conspiracy theories about his predecessor.”

There is a weird dissonance when journalists blame Biden’s White House for a coverup, but then criticize efforts to investigate that coverup. While criminal charges are unlikely to stem from the investigation, if the White House autopen, for instance, was used without Biden’s consent, that would amount to forgery, obstruction of justice, fraud or other serious crimes.

The complicity of politicians, staff and even the press in deception is nothing new in Washington. A century ago, after President Woodrow Wilson experienced a severe stroke in September 1919, his wife, Edith, and his staff covered up the severity of his condition, which made him incapable of fulfilling his duties till the end of his term and affected the race for a Democratic successor. To end such abuses, we must demand accountability and greater transparency on matters of presidential health and competence.

The 25th Amendment of the Constitution was intended to address succession issues, including the incapacity of a president, but it is very difficult to remove a president without the support of the vice president and most of the Cabinet, meaning, little can be done without a virtual mutiny within the White House.

Biden Panders to Blacks, Heavily Slurs, Has Insane Outburst of Anger During Visit to Black Church on Juneteenth 

Joe Biden, a lifelong racist, pandered to the black community this week to celebrate Juneteenth.

No one knew what Juneteenth was until recently.

Barack Obama never tweeted about Juneteenth and he never gave a speech about the event.

Biden signed a law making Juneteenth a federal holiday in 2021.

Just one year before making it a federal holiday, Joe Biden had no clue what Juneteenth was and he actually confused it with the Tulsa Massacre.

Joe Biden visited Reedy Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Galveston, Texas, on Thursday.

“This is the United States of America for God’s sakes!” Biden angrily shouted. “There’s nothing, nothing beyond our capacity when we act together.”

82-year-old Biden heavily slurred his way through remarks. He was nearly impossible to understand at times during his short speech to congregants.

‘Who Was Running the Country?’ – Witnesses Testify on Biden Health Cover-Up, Autopen Scandal 

The Senate Judiciary Committee brought in three witnesses to testify on Joe Biden’s mental and health decline on Wednesday.

Former White House Press Secretary under Trump 1.0, Sean Spicer, former DOJ official under Trump, Theodore Wold, and University of Virginia law professor John Harrison testified in a Senate hearing.

Theodore Wold said Biden’s autopen was deployed day 5 of his presidency. Wold said there is no evidence to suggest that Joe Biden authorized use of the autopen.

A third Biden autopen was recently discovered amid a federal investigation into “who ran the United States while Biden was in office.”

House Oversight Chairman James Comer is also spearheading a congressional investigation into Biden’s health coverup.

President Trump recently directed his White House Counsel, David Warrington, in consultation with Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate “whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.”

Listen to Chuck Schumer’s Lame Excuse for Cowardly Democrats Not Attending Hearing on Biden’s Mental Decline

Senate Republicans held a hearing today on the cover-up of Biden’s mental decline and the Democrats simply didn’t show up. It’s pretty obvious why they wouldn’t want to talk about this but the American people are owed answers. A lot of them.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was asked about this by a reporter and he gave such a lame answer that it defies belief.

Schumer claimed that this is the sort of ‘coarseness’ that the American people don’t like and that it has nothing to do with Medicaid and feeding hungry children.

Does anyone remember any of those issues preventing Democrats from relentlessly pursuing Trump during his first administration when they impeached him? Twice?

Townhall reported:

Chuck Schumer’s Latest Deflection About the Biden Health Cover Up Is Beyond Absurd

Chuck Schumer has declared the Joe Biden mental health cover-up dead. There are more critical issues, like starving children in America. The theatrics with these people are boundless. Yes, children going hungry in America is a regrettable problem, inexcusable, but stop, Chuck—you people don’t care. There were starving kids, homeless veterans, and mothers unable to buy baby formula under Joe Biden, and you people did nothing. All Democrats did was lecture, dismiss voters’ concerns, and then have the gall to say they didn’t understand the economy or the immigration crisis.

Flashforward to 2024, Joe Biden is out, Kamala Harris got smoked, and the Democrats are in the wilderness. They’re in their worst shape in 50 years. They’ve lost working people, young voters, and immigrant citizens, the latter of which has swung 40 points toward the Republicans. Immigrant citizens are on the MAGA train—losing these core groups constitutes electoral death for Democrats. Oh, and their dip with Latinos is why Trump won the popular vote. We know the Electoral College is all that matters, but liberals love to tout that popular vote, which became ours in 2024.

The shocking date of Biden’s first use of the autopen exposed… and it’s earlier than previously known

During an explosive Republican-led hearing on Joe Biden‘s rapid decline over the course of his four-year presidency, shocking details emerged about the extensive use of an autopen by the former president.

One of the witnesses called by the Senate Judiciary committee was Theo Wold, currently a Visiting Fellow for Law and Technology Policy at The Heritage Foundation, a Washington, DC – based conservative think tank. 

Wold is also a board member of the Oversight Project, an independent, nonprofit organization previously a part of Heritage.

The Oversight Project’s research discovered that the first time President Joe Biden used an autopen was five days into his presidency, Wold stated as part of his sworn testimony.

“The autopen is a device that signs the president’s signature to a document. The Oversight Project, of which I am a board member, has discovered that the Biden White House deployed an autopen to affix President Biden’s signature to pardons, prison commutations, executive orders, and presidential proclamations,’ Wold noted. 

“The Oversight Project’s research has found that the Biden White House first deployed the autopen to affix President Biden’s signature to a proclamation on day five of his administration and that there were at least three different autopen signatures in use throughout president Biden’s tenure in the White House,’ Wold continued.

He added: ‘In June 2022, the Biden White House began deploying the autopen to sign clemency warrants and executive orders. Autopen use skyrocketed from there. We found that of the 51 clemency warrants issued during the Biden presidency, over half, 32 in total, were signed with an autopen.’

Another eyebrow-raising revelation Wold shared was that after a review of the president’s public schedule, and publicly available media, the Oversight Project was not able to find evidence of Biden ‘personally approving these actions, such as a statement.’

Exploring Cannabis sativa L for Anti-Alzheimer Potential: An Extensive Computational Study including Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics, and ADMET Assessments

Abstract

Introduction: Cholinesterase enzymes play a pivotal role in hydrolyzing acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter crucial for memory and cognition, into its components, acetic acid, and choline. A primary approach in addressing Alzheimer’s disease symptoms is by inhibiting the action of these enzymes.

Methods: With this context, our study embarked on a mission to pinpoint potential Cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors using a comprehensive computational methodology. A total of 49 phytoconstituents derived from Cannabis sativa L underwent in silico screening via molecular docking, pharmacokinetic and pharmacotoxicological analysis, to evaluate their ability to inhibit cholinesterase enzymes. Out of these, two specific compounds, namely tetrahydrocannabivarin and Δ-9- tetrahydrocannabinol, belonging to cannabinoids, stood out as prospective therapeutic agents against Alzheimer’s due to their potential as cholinesterase inhibitors. These candidates showcased commendable binding affinities with the cholinesterase enzymes, highlighting their interaction with essential enzymatic residues.

Results: They were predicted to exhibit greater binding affinities than Rivastigmine and Galantamine. Their ADMET assessments further classified them as viable oral pharmaceutical drugs. They are not expected to induce any mutagenic or hepatotoxic effects and cannot produce skin sensitization. In addition, these phytoconstituents are predicted to be BBB permeable and can reach the central nervous system (CNS) and exert their therapeutic effects. To delve deeper, we explored molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to examine the stability of the complex formed between the best candidate (Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and the target proteins under simulated biological conditions. The MD study affirmed that the ligand-ChE recognition is a spontaneous reaction leading to stable complexes.

Jill Biden’s ‘Work Husband’ and Co-Conspirator Revealed

Anthony Bernal, dubbed as Jill Biden’s “work husband,” played a crucial yet covert role in shielding the public from Joe Biden’s cognitive issues. Insiders have likened Bernal to the Wizard of Oz, a figure of “enormous power” operating behind the scenes. According to reports, Bernal has been by Jill’s side since the 2008 Obama-Biden campaign, known for his relentless loyalty and intimidating presence.

In a video released by Project Veritas, former Democratic National Committee chair David Hogg described Bernal as having “enormous power,” while others compared him to a hidden puppet master. Former Biden staffer Deterrian Jones remarked, “That was like an open secret. I would avoid him, he was scary.” The mysterious figure of Bernal was said to be so influential that many within the White House feared him.

According to Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book, *Original Sin*, Bernal was pivotal in the secretive “Politburo” that managed the Biden presidency. He was close to the Biden family during crucial times, including the peculiar “basement campaign” in 2020. When things began to unravel last summer, Bernal was one of the few non-family members to remain by their side.

Jill Biden and Bernal worked hand in glove, identifying “heretics” and monitoring who was loyal or opposed to them, the book details. Bernal’s unwavering dedication to the Bidens, combined with his ruthless demeanor toward perceived adversaries, made him an unpopular figure within the White House. “He would not be welcome at my funeral,” one aide candidly mentioned in Tapper and Thompson’s book.

Despite Jill’s insistence on being addressed as “Dr. Biden” by others, she allowed Bernal the privilege of first-name familiarity. His open identity as a gay man afforded him a unique level of intimacy with the former First Lady. Bernal offered candid opinions on Jill’s appearance as they crafted her public image, frequently highlighted by outlets like *Vogue*.

Even after Joe Biden’s presidency faced criticism during a key debate, Jill maintained her glamorous persona with Bernal’s help. Following the debate, Jill told *Vogue*, “We will continue to fight,” emphasizing that they wouldn’t let those 90 minutes define the presidency’s four years. This defiant stance came despite growing scrutiny over the administration’s performance.

Now, with the Bidens no longer in the White House, Jill faces increasing pressure to disclose what she knew about her husband’s health. The revelation of Joe Biden’s advanced prostate cancer diagnosis has only intensified calls for transparency. “Frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw it, and what she knew,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a May 29 briefing.
